Denver Mayor Quigg Newton
(Among the local kids my age known as Fig Newton)
Following his discharge from the navy, at the age of thirty-five, Newton ran for mayor of Denver. Newton ran against long-time Mayor Benjamin Stapleton. Newton’s vision for modernizing Denver won him an almost 58 percent of the vote in the 1947 election. At the time of his election, Newton was the youngest mayor elected in Denver history, as well as the city’s first native-born mayor.
Newton served two terms as mayor, winning reelection in 1951. During his tenure, Newton oversaw the modernization of Denver and the city’s government. He created the Career Service Authority, which removed the existing patronage system and separated city employment from politics; developed a planning office, which became the Denver Regional Council of Governments; established a system of competitive bidding for city contracts; established the first Community Relations Commission; and reorganized the Denver Police Department, which began employing civilians for non-enforcement positions.
During his time in office, Newton oversaw the construction of several significant buildings, such as the Coliseum and the city auditorium, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the Botanic Gardens, and the downtown library building. Other projects included the Valley Highway, now Interstate 25, and an extension to the Stapleton Airport, now replaced by DIA.
In 1956 Newton became president of the University of Colorado. The university had greatly expanded in the postwar years and needed a leader with a new vision for the school. During his time at the University of Colorado, Newton worked to raise faculty salaries and transformed the university into a research institution. In doing so, Newton expanded the scientific research role of the university and the medical school.
Puppies That Were Holiday Presents
Don't give up on a dog. Not all dogs learn at the same rate. Remember they love you even if you don't love them back. Be patient and you will find you've got a good four legged friend when two legged friends are more fickle.
